2016 Small Business of the YearForest View Recreation Bar and Grill has been in business since 1965 and offers bowl-ing, volleyball, cornhole, an outdoor bar and grill, and most recently they installed two golfsimulators. The owner, Richard Kenny, has been updating and adding additional attrac-tions since he purchased it three years ago inorder to provide recreation and entertain-ment to people at all levels. He grew up in Temperance, Michigan and worked at Forest View Lanes fixing pin setter machines, taking out the trash, and passing out bowling shoes. He joked that he would own the bowling facility one day and that prediction came true. In 2016, Forest View donated to more than 150 organizations. Richard Kenny serves on the Alzheimer’s Board of Directors for the Northwest Ohio Chapter and is a supporting sponsor for the Walk to End Alzhei-mer’s. He also serves on the Bedford Business Association Board as a Trustee. Forest View gives back to the community they serve daily. Not only is Richard Kenny building up his business, but he strives to help build up the community as a whole.
Other 2016 nominees for this prestegious award include: Miller Vein and Phoenix Theatres of Monroe.

DTE Fermi 2 and Workforce Vendors Back Chamber FoundationDTE Energy and five of its workforce vendors havepartnered to contribute $4,550 to the Monroe County Chamber of Commerce Foundation. DTEFermi 2 nuclear power plant; AECOM Michigan LLC; BHI Energy; CFM VR-TESCO, LLC; GE Inter-national and Mid-American Group each purchasedcoupon books for workers who came to the comm-unity to work on the recent 18th refueling outage at the power plant. The employers distributed the books to the workforce, providing an incentive to patronize local businesses and support the “Make the Right Choice - Buy Local Campaign.” Molly Luempert-Coy, DTE’s manager of regional relations, spearheaded fundraising for the coupon book. The funds will be used to provide LEADERSHIP MONROE training and expand its scholarship opportunities. Since 2007, the fundraiser has generated a total of $34,550 for scholarships for LEADERSHIP MONROE during the past six outages. The coupon books were created by The Monroe News and were the result of a part-nership between DTE Energy, The Monroe News and The Chamber.
